Patrick Schwarzenegger can sum up season three of "The White Lotus" in one succinct phrase: "Absolutely fucking insane."
Each season of Mike White's Emmy-winning anthology series focuses on a different group of privileged vacationers visiting the titular fictional resort chain. Season one was set in Hawaii, while season two took place in Sicily, Italy.
Season three of the HBO series, which is expected to premiere in 2025, will focus on guests at the resort's Thailand location. Details remain under wraps, but the cast includes Schwarzenegger, "Fallout" actor Walton Goggins, Blackpink member Lisa, and returning "White Lotus" star Natasha Rothwell. Filming took place on location in Thailand earlier this year and lasted nearly seven months.
"It just felt like forever, but at the same time, it blew by," Schwarzenegger, who's promoting his partnership with Ketel One Vodka as the brand's inaugural Spirit Advisor, told Business Insider on Tuesday. "It was an incredible opportunity, an incredible time with everybody, and I'm so thankful for it."
Though Schwarzenegger was tight-lipped about season three, he recalled exploring the country's islands in his downtime, eating plenty of Thai food, hanging out at the beach, trying to find the best coffee, and spending time making memories with the cast.
Schwarzenegger's costar Goggins recently said that he followed an "extreme" diet in preparation for the show. Schwarzenegger, on the other hand, said that he had a much different experience.
"I ate Thai food all day, every day," the "Gen V" actor said.
Since filming wrapped in August, Schwarzenegger has been busy with a different role, as Ketel One's first-ever Spirit Advisor.
The self-proclaimed "cocktail connoisseur and snob" said teaming up with the family-owned brand was an easy yes.
While fans eagerly await more crumbs of information about season three of "The White Lotus," Schwarzenegger is looking forward to spending time with his friends and family — and enjoying an espresso martini or two.
"The holidays, to me, are about creating those memories, enjoying time with each other, eating delicious food, drinking delicious drinks, and finding ways to also give back," he said.
